[Private - Rex]

Rex, I would like to know if your currently level of maturity has dropped, because apparently this flood makes that possible. Even for you.

[Are you a kid, Rex?]

If not, I should make it clear that asking inmates and wardens afflicted by this flood questions about their lives, pasts and budding personality disorders is not appropriate behavior. Furthermore, please refrain from doing any experiments on them. This includes social experiments.


[Public]

To our new guests, if you find any keys in your possession could you please give them to an adult warden?

[Children with keys that access to lab, infirmary or engine room? What could possibly go wrong.]

I was on the barge for two years and then back at home for eight before making my deal. I don't mind waiting a few years more.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Neither do I.

So, what should I expect from you as my warden? More random imprisonment?

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

No, you shouldn't. You'll only be placed in zero if I believe that you're a risk to yourself or others.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

That's... reasonable. Was this always your plan, or did the other wardens push you to it?

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

It was always my plan. Given that your room, which I checked while you were in zero, could have had dangerous contraband in it, I believed that you could have harmed others.

Regarding any negative feedback towards me that you may have heard, wardens on board do not have an understanding of why preventative action is a useful thing.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Mm. Well, no contraband here, as you know. [Not for lack of trying. He's been disappointed to find that the Barge on the whole is a lot more secure than it was in his last time here.] I take it room searches will be a regular thing.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

Yes, I'm assuming that you've found other places around the barge to hide whatever it is that you're building. [Crane is paranoid enough to assume that there has to be a plan in motion.]

I will be searching your room semi-regularly, although telling you just how regularly would defeat the purpose.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Fair enough.

What do you think I'm building? [The honest answer is "NOTHING SOB SOB SOB BAWWWW".]

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

A machine to crash the barge again, I imagine.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

I'm not stupid enough to go for a repeat performance. It obviously didn't work the first time.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

If not that, probably some form of mind control device.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

I don't have a death wish.

My next project will be something entirely different. [He won't say what it is, because he, uh, has no idea. BUT HE'LL JUST PRETEND HE'S BEING CRYPTIC TO TAUNT CRANE.]

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

If it's ironic fear toxin, I will be extremely unamused.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Please. My projects have a purpose beyond terrorizing the populace.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

I very much doubt that, but I won't argue the point.
